(e) (1) The Commission may waive the guarantee required under subsection (d) of this section, if the Commission determines that: (i) the waiver would not seriously affect the sale of the bonds of the sanitary district; and (ii) money market conditions justify the sale of the bonds of the sanitary district without the guarantee. (2) The waiver of the guarantee under paragraph (1) of this subsection on one issue of bonds may not be construed to be a waiver of the guarantee of future bond issues.
